WisCon Releases Statement on 2014 Co-Chair Evans

WisCon has announced that “in response to member concerns” 2011 and 2014 co-chair Piglet Evans will not be handling harassment reports in any committee position she may hold in the future, nor will she serve in any of the convention’s Safety positions. (See “Piglet recuses herself from harassment process”.)

As if to allay skeptics, they added: “We further guarantee that she will be held to this.”

I’ve been to a ‘safe space’ convention in the UK Nineworlds. I thought it worked brilliantly and brought out a lot of fans who have difficulty with some of the more ‘interesting’ aspects of traditional cons.

I don’t think every single con should run like this but in general the more styles of con there are the better.
